kya guman tha ki na hoga koi ham-sar apna

dukh uThao kitne hi ghar bahaar karne mein

us ek ummid ko to rahat-e-safar na samajh

hai tanhai mein bahna aansuon ka

ho teri yaad ka dil mein guzar aahista aahista

aaj bhi teri hi surat hai muqabil mere

gham-e-jaan gum gham-e-duniya mein to hona mushkil

hunar jo talib-e-zar ho hunar nahin rahta

ghazal mein husn ka uske bayan rakhna hai

kya hota hai KHizan bahaar ke aane jaane se

paya jab se zaKHm kisi ko khone ka

wo shaKHs to mujhe hairan karta jata tha

saffak sarab se ziyaada

duniya mein kitne rang nazar aaenge nae

use shikast na hone pe man kitna tha
